4medium applescored and sliced into thin rings. 1/4" thick slices will produce a crispier dried apple, 1/2" thick will produce a dried apple with a little more substance and chewiness.
Lay each individual ring/piece flat on a rimmed, parchment lined baking sheet.
Baking time will vary depending on thickness and how crisp you want your apple rings.
Take a wooden spoon and use it as a wedge to prop the oven door slightly ajar during the drying process. This allows the moisture to escape the oven.
A general timeline would be 1.5 - 2 hours, flipping the apples halfway through and rotating the cookie sheets. 2 hours will give you crisp apple rings that are more like apple chips.
